Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
There's a little quest chain you can do in Blasted Lands that goes away when WoD comes out, but it's nothing to write home about
Guys, I'm really really tempted to dip in once more (havent played since WOTLK), but I was wondering, with all the cross server stuff, isnt it viable now to start a GAF guild? or raiding group or something? I'm not gonna play long if it's just me and some random guild that invited me because I ran through stormwind
Haha, that's amazing. Grats man!Bitching on GAF confirmed as working.

MoP is now baseline. If you have a WoW account, you own it. Only expansion you need to buy separately is WoD.

I think it looks quite nice, but it needs a bit more to successfully penetrate that genre. A map editor is crucial. Ways to create custom items would likely be wise to add too.
The abilities look incredibly unbalanced. For example Mercy looked completely useless compared to Reaper or even the other 2 support characters.

Bah, all images in the new WoD press kit released today are in JPEG format. Blizzard used to provide screenshots in TGA format, packshots in TIFF and much of the artwork in PNG. The images are not of bad quality, but still, I'm a bit disappointed.
I think it looks great. There was that rumored console Arena PVP game that I was sorta hyped for, but I'll take Overwatch.
I'll give it a shot. I played TF2, but never stuck with it. Game was tactical, but felt too slow. I'd be more into Overwatch if it was faster paced.
I will give it a shot.
We just want the cross-promotional pets and mounts.

Love how it looks, and seems like a ton of fun.

Heh. Finally sold my Blackened Defias Boots flip for ~17k. Was getting some low ball offers in my mail/whispers, but someone finally stepped up and dropped the gold on them. Can't remember how much I snagged em for since my TSM data got wiped, but it was pretty low - couldn't have been more than 3k.
Between that, a couple carries, and other stuff I think I made over 50k this past week (so far). Not too shabby.
My guildmates who did a bunch of carrying in the week I was moving still made loads more though
((
Hopefully I can get a lot from the early WoD gold rush, and selling WoD CM carries. Want to hit at least gold cap if not go further. I know a couple people in my guild are several times gold capped.

I've actually got 4 of the items on my rogue. I'm probably going to transmog into them since I levelled in them.
I didn't actually find anything better than that set until like level 50 lol.
which difficulty do you need it on
I'm trying to grab one last one on heroic. Talked to someone from the guild I bought from before on my server, but he said he wasn't certain they were doing any more before WoD.

I will play it for certain since I love TF2, but if the f2p elements are more obnoxious than Valve's offerings then I won't stay for that long.

They didn't say anything about it being free to play, and they didn't show any sort of skins or customization.
Oh okay, interesting.

I'd be very surprised if this wasn't f2p with some 'premium pack' LEs sold with prepurchase/preorder bonuses.
For those who didn't see it, the Warcraft movie panel showed off what Orgrim Doomhammer (voiced and mo-capped by Rob Kazinsky) and King Llane Wrynn (played by Dominic Cooper) look like in the film:
I think they look great - well, Llane looks a bit like Jason Sudeikis in a beard but I'm pretty sure it's just the lighting.
Here's the Doomhammer as well as Llane's sword:

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Unless they dramatically changed Fishing in the last 5 months you crazy.
I guess I'm going to hop back in for the expansion. This is going to be interesting because I know almost nothing about it so its all going to be a surprise.
All of it looks really neat. And I liked what I heard during the panel.
Said it in the Blizzcon thread, but my faith in the film continues to grow. For a few years there I was certain this would never get made or just end up being bad.
Looks awesome

Fishing dailies help a lot with the grind, both in breaking up the tedium and making it more rewarding to level it in the meantime.

I think Llane looks like one of the Gasol brothers from the NBA.
From the WoW panel about the ability pruning:
I completely agree, but it's also your goddam fault.
-Abilities are just randomly there in the skillbook instead of having a clear way to distinguish the core abilities from the other ones
-Tooltips are rarely clear enough (lol Symbiosis)
-they change abilities all the goddamn time so it's hard to keep track of the fluctuating damage/effect of some of your abilities. Sometimes you come back after a while, your ability is still there with the same icon and all, but it doesn't do the same shit and you have no idea it changed until you read the tooltip.
Basically, the "what's new" thingy in WoD should have been there years ago and should show the changes for your class.
Also skillbook revamp please because it is so old and ineffective.

Inb4 people freaking the fuck out at randomization on gear.
If the worst possible version of your gear is still good enough to do the raid, then getting those extra features on a piece of gear is motivation to keep the raid from getting pointless for you to stop helping your guild, and keeps it carrot on the stick further out of reach.
It only works if the game works like they say it will, and that's another story.

"What's new" has been in there in some form since the Cataclysm pre-patch.
They've changed things around to make things both less and more confusing lately. As mentioned the spellbook is just a pure mess at this point and I don't like navigating it. And ability/talent design has just gotten too damn band-aidy with a lot of stuff changing dramatically changing their effects between specs and it just feels so damn convoluted. I think they've really been fumbling around in the dark with how to approach class/spec design and customization since they first started changing the original talent system around.

It's been done with ilevel 115. It's all you at this point.
The ability pruning stuff has been remarkably inconsistent across the board, but that goes for many things regarding class design this xpac, I suppose. They're clearly pressed for time and a bunch of stuff just isn't going to get fixed until the next big content patch.
So RIP arms warriors, whirlwind in peace.

There's some classes that id prefer to not have shit pruned. WW monks is one of them. They are fine as they are.
Some classes had some stuff taken away, and nothing to compensate what so ever.
If the spec has no decision making whatsoever then the spec is boring, and the lack of variety will drive people away.

Arms would've been fine if they just gave them heroic strike and made their aoe sweeping strikes and maaaaybe thunderclap
The way they spoke about arms was spot on, but not matching the way the game plays now. Mortal strike is and should be scary, but they should also have something besides whirlwind to hit when they have MS and Colossus smash on CD, most of all just because it looks silly.
WW monks didn't lose anything besides fire blossom, they're too new to have too much junk added on them over the years.
You missed the point of the ability purge altogether, they got rid of stuff that is totally pointless and you wont NEED a replacement or something.

Blizzard really needs to add a fucking "Passives" tab to the skillbook, IMO.
Sometimes when I'm leveling a character it's just like "Oh.. when did that start happening??"
